At0630on22July 1990 the station learned the fishing vessel Steel Venture was aground on rocks just north of Benllech, and class, with Helmsman Rodney Pace Anthony Barclay aboard, was launched breaking waves and a Force 5 wind.

Reaching the casualty some 20 minutes the lifeboat crew found the fishing With Integrity standing by and after assessing the situation requested the services of the all-weather lifeboat.
